The Detroit Pistons rescinded a three-player, three-team trade with the Houston Rockets and Philadelphia 76ers on Monday, saying not all the players involved were cleared medically.

Pistons General Manager Jeff Bower announced the decision but did not provide details, citing medical privacy.

Houston had traded guard Marcus Thornton and center Donatas Motiejunas to Detroit last week for center Joel Anthony and a protected, first-round draft pick this year. The Rockets also made the move to acquire the draft rights of forward Chukwudiebere Maduabum from Philadelphia.
